Coaching or mentoring
Is there anyway to get free mentoring or coaching. My wife and I are just starting out and looking to do wholesale for now. Any ideas?

I just posted this on another thread, asking about mentorship, so I'll just cut & paste:
Find investors in your area who have a process of consistently finding & closing deals (you can look up who bought properties under LLCs, or just Google "we buy houses" or something). That means they have a repeatable process you can learn from.
Offer to do whatever work that needs to get done. Admin work, social media, online stuff, phone calls, pick up supplies from Home Depot, etc.
Be persistent, follow through, show initiative. A lot of investors would love to help someone just getting started, as long as they know they're not a flake, and bring a work ethic.
That's how I got started. I didn't even ask what my cut was going to be. Once I paid my dues, things naturally progressed to where I got equal partnership, but you have to earn it.
Real estate is like flying. Eventually you have to go up in the air. You shorten the learning curve working with someone who's actively doing it.
Trade your work ethic to gain experience
